Tire pressure for 265/70/17

265/70r17 (+1" over stock) is the largest size tire you can run while stock with no issues. You'll likely have to remove your front mud flaps to avoid rubbing, but that's it!

 

I did not. The little front flap thing rubbed when bottomed out and turning but that's it.

 

I'm guessing you have stock wheels? Usually the only ones who rub the front flaps have aftermarket wheels that are pushed out farther than stock.

 

Yep stock wheels. That makes sense.

 

I just put on 265/70/R17 BFG KO2s C Rated on my 2017 DCSB and was battling over what PSI to use. When I emailed BFG all my details, they said I should be running 45 PSI on front and back. I've seen other TW users post similar responses from BFG. Anything over 40 still seems high to me but wouldn't the tire manufacturer know best? IDK.

 

No, they would not. You're right in that that's a high pressure. Try running 33 front and 31 rear and see how you feel. If you want to definitively know, google the chalk test.

 

38 front 35 rear worked best for mine.

 

I have a 13 Baja (pro) and the sticker on the door says I should run 46 front and rear. The truck came with KO 265/70r16 load C, I now have an E rated tire but have no idea what to run the pressure at. I am looking for mileage not comfort.

Would love any advise.

 

The trade off with that is if you pump up the pressure to get increased mileage, your tires will wear unevenly. Don't know if you'd save money in the long run since you'll likely have to replace your tires sooner.
